Answer 1

+5 A:

You can use the @ character:

message.Body = @"
    <html>
        <body>
            IMAGINE A LOT OF HTML CODING HERE
        </body>
    </html>";

This works OK if you have a small HTML markup / want a quick-and-dirty solution. For production code, I recommend you use what Jon Skeet suggests, keeping a separate HTML file.

Put the text onto multiple lines?

message.Body = "<html><body>IMAGINE A LOT OF "+
                " HTML CODING HERE</body></html>";

Answer 3

+8 A:

Dan has given one option - verbatim string literals - but I'd like to suggest that you move the data into a separate HTML file. Embed it as a resource within your assembly, and then you can load it in at execution time.

That way you'll get HTML syntax highlighting, you won't clutter up your code with a lot of data, and you can edit it really easily at any time, without having to worry about things like double quotes (which would need to be doubled within a verbatim string literal, or escaped with a backslash in a regular string literal).

The downside is that it becomes harder to put user data within the HTML - for that, you might want to consider using a templating system; either simply handwritten (html = html.Replace("$user", name)) or one of the various templating libraries available. Be careful to use HTML escaping where appropriate, of course.
